The company linked in the github issue is a property company, and the sole director has other property companies - I doubt its making Hoptodesk.

There are a number of “Begonia Holdings LLC” listed in the USA hence my thinking its US based.

If you’re in the US, maybe?

I only suggested it as Rustdesk not so long ago had no self-hosted FOSS server, whereas HopToDesk did - it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed FOSS remote desktops so I probably should again.

If you’re comfortable with Rustdesk but wary of the developer, you could try HopToDesk, which is a fork of Rustdesk but the company is based in the US.

Mostly a holdover from when I regularly pulled svn/hg/cvs repos and needed reminding what tool to use for which project.

No idea why I still do it.

Sorry for not replying sooner, life stuff.

I’ve had problems with the 555 driver like KDE’s lock screen would freeze for up to 30 seconds whilst trying to unlock and resuming from suspend resulted in a black screen.

So I went back to the 550 driver - I’ve uploaded the RPMs/SRPMs that I use; https://misc.lapwing.org/rpms/nvidia-550/

Please note this is just a dump of RPMs/SRPMs and not a repo, so it’s just a stop gap until 560 arrives and (hopefully) fixes my issues.

You will probably have to fight dnf a bit to get it to actually replace the 555 RPMs, but I’ve not had a recurrence and the akmod dance works just as jankily well as before.

You probably want to check your wife’s Onedrive online with a web browser as by default Windows doesn’t keep files locally in Documents/Desktop/Pictures etc.

I’ve found CryFS doesn’t like multi Gb vaults, gocryptfs is happy regardless.

The larger Vault is open but Dolphin acts weird about it. You have to use the terminal to copy out the files from the mounted Vault and just wait for it to complete unfortunately.

The GNOME extension appears to get the currently focused window information (ie name, title, PID and executable name) and make this information available over DBUS for the client binary.

The client binary calls gnome-screenshot -f and I assume gives a path that the client binary then sends to Hubstaff servers.

A janky suggestion would be to create a Kwin Script that pulls the active window information, sends it (somehow) to a DBUS service that can provide it to the client binary and create a wrapper script around spectacle to pretend to be gnome-screenshot (eg spectacle -b -f $@)

I don’t know if this would work fully though as the client binary strings seem to hint it checks the running version of GNOME Shell, and without an account I can’t see if this is a hard requirement or a “Hey, this is broken, we’ll try our best!” type thing.

I found CryFS, the default encryption used, to become unusable if the vault is more than a few gigs in size* - gocryptfs works without issue.

* No, you dirty minded people, I use Vaults for client information at work, not what you were thinking of.

You can start it with systemctl start podman-auto-update.service It’ll auto update daily at 00:00.

Be aware you need to enable and start podman-auto-update.timer for this to work automatically (ie systemctl enable --now podman-auto-update.timer), this command will just update the images once only.

I don’t think this works for non-system podman images, so you’d have to do systemctl --user enable --now podman-auto-update.timer for each user.

You can use RequiresMountsFor= (eg RequiresMountsFor=/media/storage-volume1) instead of manually adding .mount to After/Requires - you can then use .mount files or fstab as you’re stipulating the path rather than a potentially changeable systemd unit name.

The systemd.mount manpage also strongly recommends using fstab for human added mount points over .mount files.

The 6.5 kernel should have the fix for this included, so you could try using that kernel instead of 6.1?

Quodlibet can do this.

Sorry, I was thinking file browser mounts would appear in mount, but they don’t.

You should be able to list file browser mounts in a terminal using gio mount -li after mounting via the file browser, and it will list the SMB mount it’s using, ie smb://SERVER/$share/

This annoyingly doesn’t give us the username or domain for the SMB share, and to get that if the server and share looks OK we have to run gvfs (what the file browser for PopOS uses in the background) in debug mode and re-mount the SMB share; in a terminal run pkill gvfs; pkill nautilus; LANG=C GVFS_DEBUG=1 $(find /usr/lib* -name gvfsd 2>/dev/null) --replace 2>&1 ; this will unmount anything in the file browser but will show what username and domain the file browser is using to access the SMB share, for example after clicking on a share in the file browser, among other logs, I get;

smb: do_mount - URI = smb://absolution.local/samshared
smb: do_mount - try #0 
smb: auth_callback - kerberos pass
smb: auth_callback - out: last_user = 'samblack', last_domain = 'SAMBA'
smb: do_mount - [smb://absolution.local/samshared; 0] res = -1, cancelled = 0, errno = [22] 'Invalid argument' 
smb: do_mount - enabling NTLMSSP fallback
smb: do_mount - try #1 
smb: auth_callback - ccache pass
smb: auth_callback - out: last_user = 'samblack', last_domain = 'SAMBA'
smb: do_mount - [smb://absolution.local/samshared; 1] res = -1, cancelled = 0, errno = [22] 'Invalid argument' 
smb: do_mount - try #2 
smb: auth_callback - normal pass
smb: auth_callback - reusing keyring credentials: user = 'samblack', domain = 'ABSOLUTION'
smb: auth_callback - out: last_user = 'samblack', last_domain = 'ABSOLUTION'
smb: do_mount - [smb://absolution.local/samshared; 2] res = 0, cancelled = 0, errno = [0] 'Success' 
smb: do_mount - login successful
smb: send_reply(0x55ea6ffe5450), failed=0 ()

This should give the username and domain that connects and can be used in the credential file.

Once this is done, you can exit the terminal with gvfs running and you should be able to close and re-open the file browser and the mounts should just re-appear normally.

Hopefully this will give enough information as to why the file browser mount works and the mount command doesn’t.

OK, you may want to check dmesg or journalctl if there are further errors from the kernel - there is also a -v argument for mount, eg mount -t cifs -v //SERVER/$share /mnt --verbose -o... that might help.

Don’t know if you’ve found this already (and apologies if you have!) but this suggests some not obvious solutions https://superuser.com/questions/430163/cifs-share-mount-errors

Also (brain dumping) if you’ve successfully mounted it via the file browser, do so again and then check mount to see what arguments/options the CIFS mount is using - it might yield some important differences.

domain in this instance is the workgroup, and is optional according to the man page.

Have you tried adding --verbose before the -o? That might yield more information.
